Making a will is something that, because of the reason why we need to do it, is something that is easily put off - yet can lead to huge problems with probate if you don't write one in time.
Writing a last will and testament (to use the proper phrase for it) isn't as complicated as it used to be, and there are now many places online why you can write a legal DIY one!
Title : The 60 Minute Estate Planner: Fast and Easy Illustrated Plans to Save Taxes, Avoid Probate and Maximise Inheritance Author : Sandy Kraemer Rating : 3 Stars out of 5. Summary : Complete summary, but little practical information
Sandy seems to cover all the bases, but the language is a bit too dense for the beginning reader, and there is little to no practical information about how to deal with a trust/trustee once the program is implemented. For example, how does a trust limit ones freedom of action wrt ones assets, before the first death as well as after. After reading, I still couldn't decide if I wanted a trust or not.
Title : Last Will Testament Kit Author : Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Simple to Use
The pack arrives with a CD and a booklet on what is required. I found the booklet useful in determining what I needed to do and on the CD are all the forms that are required to make up your will. I should imagine the size of your estate will determine how comlex your will could be. For me this will do the job without the professional fees that could be incurred.
Title : How to Probate an Estate in Florida: With Forms : Take the Law into Your Own Hands (Take the Law Into Your Own Hands) Author : Gudrun M. Nickel Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : A good, simple introduction to Florida probate options
This is a good simple overview of Florida probate law, with useful checklists to make sure you do not overlook the obvious. You can find much of the information in the Florida statutes, but this is much more readable and it also coordinates and organizes its information better. It is more of an outline than a treatise, but if you need a treatise you need a lawyer, not this book. It serves the purpose for which it was designed well.
Title : A Guide to Probate in Wisconsin Author : Pekowsky Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : I really don't care about camels but this was great!
I really couldn't care less about camels; But this isn't a boring book about camels. This is a book about a guy who loves Explorers. The spirit of exploration and the excitement of the unknown, drives the author and soon drives the reader. The guy is nuts to go into the desert of deepest China (especially at his age!) but you understand why he does it and by the end you will care about the camels too. It made me laugh out loud in places - but then you must have a sense of humour to do something like this!
Title : Land Law (Butterworths Core Texts S.) Author : K.J. Gray Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Butterworths core test on land law (2nd series)
Really good book and I found it easy to understand and it made land law as entertaining as it could be. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone doing a land law module!!!
Title : Where There's a Will...: A Guide for the Executor or Administrator of the Estate of a Decendent Author : F. William, Jr. Bauers Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : This book is an excellent resource and easy to use.
Although I have not yet been the executor of an estate, someday I will be required to perform the duties of one. I plan to use this book as my guide. When my husband and I set up our estate, Where There's a Will...provided useful information for the direction of our own executor. Legal information for the lay person is frequently written in a dry or boring style, but this author is interesting and readable. It's difficult to think about the death of our loved ones. Painful as it can be we need to be prepared to carry out their final wishes. A resource like this will provide answers to confusing questions during what can be an overwhelming time of life.
